    Boo, as a Minnesota sports fan I cannot support this. No thanks. The Brewers have a heck of a nice club these past few seasons, I will admit to that.

    You get what you deserve if you choose to attend a wedding over the Twins game. ?

    Finally, on this past Saturday, I reached my goal of attending a Saints or Twins game without winter jacket, hat l, or gloves. I was 0 for 4 up until that 70+ degree day.

    MLB has really stepped forward and promoted women/girls in the game at all levels. It is brilliant and good for the game all around. I saw a recent interview with Rachel Balkovec on MLB Network and she encouraged women to get into the industry and stated that their resumes would go to the top of the candidate pile. This is good for the future of the sport. My youngest daughter is the only child of six that will give baseball more than a moment's notice. She's 8 and I convinced her to play in the all girls baseball tournament in June sponsored by the Twins organization.

    It's so interesting that in today's society, it's the established organizations that are expected to change and to adapt to today's world and the people and not the other way around. Organizations have always had to adapt to stay relevant, that has always been the case. I think it's great that young people are empowered and respected more than they used to be when I was younger. It seems that now everyone wants the world to cater to them. Baseball is a great team game that has stood the test of time. Now, we have players swinging from their heels only focused on individual stats and the home run. It's sickening to watch the strikeouts and the inability to put the ball in play on the right side to move over a runner, execute a hit and run, (heaven forbid) lay down a successful bunt, or any other number of baseball fundamentals. Today's athletes are extraordinary and so talented, highly skilled. It would be nice if that could translate to an even more entertaining product on the baseball field. I still love the game of baseball and think it will survive and possibly thrive in the future. They are doing a good job of reaching out to new markets - my daughter is participating in an all girls baseball tournament in June hosted by MLB and the Twins. As far as the church, they might have tougher obstacles than MLB to overcome.

    The only daily local shows on KFAN that really talk sports consistently in an educated manner is Paul Allen's show. Heck, Common freely admits he rarely watches or attends sporting events.

    One of my sayings is that Iove Jesus Christ, baseball, and rock 'n rock. Which makes me quite a dinosaur. And, that makes me sad. I'm assuming we aren't supposed to get into religion on TD, although this post leads us down that path. If the lockout would have been 30+ days, it might have killed baseball, so good on the players and owners for only delaying a week. I can understand why the youth of today are not interested in baseball or church. They've had an entertainment system in their hands their entire lives with unlimited entertainment options instantly available 24/7. My two brothers and I fought over one television. The attention span of humans has been cut significantly in recent years. Baseball and church require concentration and patience. Now, why the kids don't like rock 'n roll over the garbage they listen to today is beyond my comprehension.

    In theory, I am not happy about a former cheating Astros and two Yankees on my favorite ball club this season. However, I have found all three guys to be likeable. I noticed that Gio Urshela's walk up music is "Where I Belong" by Christian band Building 429. I suffered through three of the four losses on the homestand. Suffered through the weather, poor play from the Twins, and Dave Roberts denying us a chance to witness history. Warmer days are ahead, hopefully.

    They will be entertaining, and frustrating. The rotation has real promise. The bullpen is a scary mess - who will close games? I really like the new guys with the bat - Correa, Sanchez, and Urshela. The weather in Minnesota is awful and it doubles the misery when the Twins play a clunker when it's cold at Target Field.
  11. theBOMisthebomb
    No fees at Target Field box office when I bought $4 tickets to five different day games throughout the season on Tuesday while attending the Dodgers game. Will it reach the point where teams just give up the illusion of charging 'big bucks' for good seats? All of the home games so far this season you could have purchased the cheapest seat in the park and easily found a lower level expensive seat with no issues. The $4 deal makes me question whether I want to renew my 20 game flex package for 2023 at $25 pet seat. Heck, if they are just giving the farm away why be a loyal season ticket holder in the upper deck?

    That Milwaukee stadium is a real turd. My dad and I went to a game there last season in late April and they kept the roof closed on a beautiful spring night because it was "cool". Never again.

    I agree that it's the exact opposite of a ghost runner. You are putting a human runner where previously only a ghost existed, not putting a ghost runner where a real person previously was. Anyway, it's a silly rule that looks like it might be here to stay.

    Whenever I listen to KFAN, they are yammering on about the Vikings or something not related to sports.

    Bring back La Tortuga!

    My experience during the lockout from talking to friends, family, and coworkers in the listed diehard and casual fans categories is that people are not happy with what is happening. From diehards not renewing 20 or 40 game flex ticket packages to casual fans not putting the one trip a season to Target Field on their calendar to diehards for 40-50 years so frustrated that they are donating all their Twins/MLB items to charity. MLB might learn a difficult lesson that they won't be able to get people back in today's world. The fan revolt from this lockout could dwarf 1994.
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    The legend of Tommy Tanks is fun - MLB should be taking notes.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    That's one heck of a swing. Impressive.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    His swing reminds me of Albert Pujols. Now, if the results could also remind us of Pujols, then we have something.

    In 2015, I decided I wanted to rekindle my love of the sport of baseball. I breathed Twins baseball growing up in the 1980s. As life started to wear me down during adulthood due to a failed relationship in the 1990s and early 2000s that left time for very little other than fighting and definitely no time for sports, I moved further away from the sport. The mid to late Gardy years really alienated and frustrated me. When Molitor came along in 2015, I decided to start buying tickets again instead of just a game or two per year and picked up a partial season ticket plan. I decided I needed to learn the modern stats and started scouring the internet and found Twins Daily.

    Guzman made $37MM during his MLB career. If he has to swing a hammer to make ends meet, then I am speechless.

    Human beings can make me so sad sometimes. This has to be one of the signs of the apocalypse.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    I remember him arguing pitches as a catcher during one of his few appearances in a Twins uniform and getting ejected. That, and the pain.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    That's great. Thankfully those of us still in the frozen tundra have Gopher baseball in US Bank Stadium to look forward to. March 1 at 6 pm against St. Thomas is the first game. With the threat of losing MLB games, I plan to attend numerous Gopher games at the Bank if MLB is still locked out and in limbo at that time. Then, we have the St. Paul Saints if MLB really takes a break and misses regular season games.
